A workmate said that when he got in his car at 2 pm to leave work it was registering as 41 degrees.
If you park a dark coloured car in the sun and read the dash as soon as you turn the key on, you can get some pretty sweet numbers for a Facebook post.
Greenbank was this hot over the past week:
Todays pupdate:
This is Boris. He likes to sit with his legs crossed like a little sir.
One of the sources is News.com.au which seems legitimate enough.
There’s a sentence you won’t hear often!
Do you know how to tell if someone isn’t on Facebook?
Yep, developed right over us.
Look for the nice burst of yellow and red over Greenbank.
Good news - the power literally just came back on. AC restored, death by humidity postponed!
I used to buy some of their lame crap back when it was 1 unique item a day. It was kind of fun, even if most of the stuff I ended up with was total junk.
But just being eBay, or Amazon, or Kogan, but worse? What’s the point.
Maybe if they stopped genociding people?
Hot as buggery today, then suddenly hail and strong winds, and now no power.
All I wanted to do this evening was play some Rimworld and go to bed early in the AC
RIP 😥
It’s like TikTok, bit with better comment handling, and an assortment of other functionality like adding static images / having collections that work sort of like a Pinterest board, and a kind of blog on your own profile.
Definitely short form video orientated though.
Anyone else boarded the Rednote train yet?
I’m really enjoying watching the Chinese social media give their hot takes on US (and Canada / AU / NZ) citizens. Some absolute bants going on in the comments of some of the… notes? Not really sure what they call them.
Wouldnt mind going to China one day tbh. Mainly to go to the BYD factory and give them some pro tips - oi like you know the Shark 6 right? Do that, but in a van format. Like take the Hiace, remove the sooty boi, throw dual electric motors in there, give us 80kwh of of batteries under the floor, and then a little petty motor up front to run as a generator for range when we need it.
Anyway then they’ll make the Whale 6 or whatever name they come up with and finally I can buy a work van that isnt sooty.
I actually joined Rednote just to see what it’s like.
It’s cool, being on a platform that’s mostly people from another country/culture/language. You see that people are pretty much the same world over.
… Same inane bollocks from “influencers”, same stupid jump cuts constantly to make something boring look partially exciting, always with the end goal of pushing some product or service. But now it’s in Mandarin, and the brand names are written in moonrunes so I don’t know what they are.
I’m so glad I work in an industry where I can get away with using Libre Office.
People sure do drive aggressive. It’s been getting worse for the last few years, but it’s reached a point where it legitimately feels like you’re engaging in battle when you drive.
Everything’s a competition. All “me me me” with people diving up inside lanes to push a car length ahead, and doing that annoying bunching up so they don’t have to let someone in who’s merging.
Just weird behaviour in general. If driving is so stressful, catch public transport.
How does a casino lose money lol
Oh, right. By allowing organised crime.
If it’s on smoko I’ll leave it alone
No Sunday daily thread? How am I meant to know what day it is?
I just rawdogged it. Smokey Gillys bacon, so good
Found some bacon from Christmas that never made it out of the fridge
Guess who’s having air fryer bacon for lunch? 😎
On one of the commercial news channels the other morning, some yank talking head they had on for whatever reason said “I’m not sure how familiar you are in Australia with wild fires” as part of the introduction…
I was really enjoying Rednote, but I guess it ran out of rich Chinese citizen content and started showing me the poor people content and man there’s some pretty casual animal cruelty going on over here 😳
Also for all the talk of censorship in China, they sure don’t care about stuff like dead bodies and animal slaughter.
